There are a lot of packages in the tree which DEPEND on some version of |
| 2 |
sys-apps/portage, mostly for historical reasons. Try to avoid doing |
| 3 |
this in your packages where possible -- if it's a genuine dependency |
| 4 |
then obviously it should be there, but if the dep is only in the ebuild |
| 5 |
to avoid hitting a bug that was in portage-2.0.49-r3 (for example), |
| 6 |
it's unnecessary now. I'm going to be removing some of these redundant |
| 7 |
deps. |

On which note, the current base profile specifies portage-2.0.51.22 or |
| 10 |
later -- can anyone see a reason not to require 2.1? There are a lot of |
| 11 |
packages that dep on portage-2.1 for the "wrong" reasons above, which |
| 12 |
I'd like to be able to clean up. |
